These slides use concepts from my (Jeff Funk) course entitled analyzing hi-tech opportunities to show how energy harvesters are becoming more economically feasible for the Internet of Things (IoT). Small amounts of energy can be harvested from vibrations, temperature differences, and radio frequencies using various types of electronic devices such as piezoelectric, MEMS, thermo-electric power generators, and other devices. As improvements in them occur and as the energy requirements of accelerometers, pressure sensors, gas detectors, bio-sensors, and readout circuits fall from microwatts to hundreds of nano-watts, energy harvesters become cheaper and better than are batteries. Improvements in energy harvesting are occurring in the form of higher power per area or higher power per temperature difference and improvements of about five times are expected to occur in the next 5 to 10 years. The market for energy harvesters is expected to reach $2.5 Billion by 2024. In addition to their impact on buildings and the other usual applications for IoT, they will also impact on agriculture, aircraft, and medical implants.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Annex 3c part1_education
1. Education and theEducation and the
World Bank in IndiaWorld Bank in India
Sam Carlson
Lead Education Specialist
scarlson@worldbank.org
2. 2
Summary
• Primary education is a fundamental right in India, and at
the international level an important Millennium
Development Goal to which India and the Bank are
totally committed.
• GOI and States increasingly recognize education as a
critical input for human capital development,
employment/ jobs, and economic growth, and are putting
major financial and technical resources into this effort.
• Nevertheless, demand for education far exceeds supply,
in terms of both access and quality, at all levels.
• Anxious to get YOUR views as to how the Bank can
improve its impact on access, learning outcomes and
reducing skills shortages.
3. 3
Basic Education
• Two decades of focused programs in basic
education have reduced out-of-school youth to
about 10 M (down from 25 M in 2003), most
from marginalized social groups. Net enrollment
rate is 85%, with social disparities.
• Key challenge is to finish the “access agenda”
and dramatically increase focus on quality, with
more attention to classroom processes, basic
reading skills in early grades, teacher quality
and accountability, community/parent oversight,
evaluation/assessment.
4. 4
Secondary Education
• Access and Quality remain big challenges.
• Gross enrollment rate of 40%, with significant
gaps between genders, social groups,
urban/rural, such that most secondary students
are urban boys from wealthier population
groups.
• Private aided and unaided schools = 60% of all
secondary schools, and growing.
• Overloaded curriculum, poor teaching practices
and low primary level quality affect secondary
quality.
5. 5
Vocational Education and
Training (VET)
• VET system is small, and not responding of
needs of labor market; <40% of graduates find
employment quickly.
• Insufficient involvement of industry and
employers in VET system management,
internships.
• Lack of incentives of public training institutions
to improve performance.
6. 6
Technical and Higher Education
• Numerically huge: 330 universities and 18,000
colleges
• Substantial private provision in professional
education.
• But just 11% of youth 18-23 are enrolled.
• Problems of capacity, quality, relevance, and
public funding. Hard to retain qualified faculty.
Limited research.
• Several world-class institutions.
7. 7
GOI Education Strategy
• Unprecedented priority to universal elementary education.
• Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan: aims to universalize elementary
education by 2010, and improve learning outcomes.
• Education cess of 3% on income tax, corporation tax,
excise and customs duties generates necessary resources
• Cost-Share: was 50/50 (2007), moving to 65/35
Center/State
• Estimate: 11th Plan: ’07-’12: 60,000-70,000 crores (US$17
billion)
• Increased focus on quality and upper primary in phase II.
8. 8
GOI Strategy (continued)
• National Mission for Skills is being set up,
looking at both VET and secondary
education
• New centrally sponsored scheme to update
all industrial training institutes (ITIs)
• Significant investments in higher education
(including reforms and expansion) are
expected
9. 9
Bank Strategy and Support
• IDA Lending: 0%, 35 years to repay with first 10 years
“grace” (no repayment)
• Since FY00: over US$ 1 Billion (Rupees 40 billion)
committed to sector.
• Over last 10 years: eight State-level District Primary
Education Projects
• US$ 500 M for SSA I; Additional US$500 M in
November 2007 for SSA II
– Increased focus on quality in SSA II
– Partner with European Commission and UK DFID
– Still a small player: Bank $ is less than 10% of GOI $
10. 10
Bank Strategy and Support
(continued)
• US$ 280 M for VET: support 400 Industrial
Training Institutes, for improved quality and
relevance (June 2007)
• US$ 250 M for Technical Education and
Engineering: reforms in 128 competitively selected
engineering institutions in 13 states to address
skills shortages
• US$ 70 M for polytechnics in six remote states
(possible $300 M additional)
• State education reforms in Orissa and AP
11. 11
Collaboration with Civil Society
• Over 7,000 NGOs participating as partners in SSA
– Alternative education programs: “bridge courses”
– Monitoring of quality
– Capacity-building of VECs
– Reference Groups advising States, Districts and
Blocs
– Contracting (e.g. MP with Pratham)
• Not surprisingly, varies greatly by State
12. 12
Bank Research
• Elementary Education
– Impact evaluation regarding:
• Incentive payments and schooling inputs on
student learning
• Dissemination of education information on
school governance and student outcomes
• School characteristics and student outcomes
• Instructional time on task survey
13. 13
Bank Research
• Early Childhood Development – focus on integrated
(health/nutrition/education) approaches
– Will feed into US$ 450 M Integrated Child Development
Services Project
• Secondary Education – major analytical study
related to expanding access, particularly for girls
and marginalized groups, and to role of private
sector
• Higher Education – contribute to debate regarding
how India can address skills shortages among HE
graduates, linked to economic growth opportunities.
14. 14
Bank’s Limitations
• Engagement in Indian education is largely
through centrally-sponsored schemes, while
most implementation happens at the State
level. Need to find ways to foster dialogue
and technical assistance with States, and
increase exchanges with civil society on
substantive policy issues.
15. 15
Additional Issues for
Discussion
• Access versus quality tradeoffs
• Role of public and private sectors in education
financing and provision
• Prioritization of education levels (basic,
secondary, VET, higher)
• Role of civil society in policy debates and
project implementation
